Force Benedict (9781444785142)



Second World War fighter pilot Eric Carter is one of only four surviving members of a secret mission, code-named 'Force Benedict'. Sanctioned by Winston Churchill in 1941 Force Benedict was dispatched to defend Murmansk, the USSR's only port not under Nazi occupation. If Murmansk fell, Soviet resistance against the Nazis would be hard to sustain and Hitler would be able to turn all his forces on Britain...Force Benedict was under the command of New Zealand-born RAF Wing Commander Henry Neville Gynes Ramsbottom-Isherwood, who led two squadrons of Hurricane fighters, pilots and ground crew which were shipped to Russia in total secrecy on the first ever Arctic Convoy. They were told to defend Murmansk against the Germans 'at all costs'. 'We all reckoned the government thought we'd never survive' - but Eric Carter did, and was threatened with Court Martial if he talked about where he'd been or what he'd done. Now he reveals his experiences of seventy years ago in the hell on earth that was Murmansk, the largest city north of the Arctic Circle.
It will also include previously unseen photos and documents, as well as exploring - for the first time - other intriguing aspects of Force Benedict.

La Europa Unio, Greklando Kaj La Europanoj : Diversaj Konceptoj Por La Estonteco (9782369600275)

Kial la greka ĉefministro Aleksis Cipras, post elektovenko en januaro 2015 kaj grandioza venko en la referendumo en julio 2015, en kiu la greka popolo kun granda plimulto rifuzis la "helpoprogramojn" (kromajn pruntojn, do ŝuldojn, kun drasta reduktado de la vivnivelo de la greka loĝantaro), nur kelkajn tagojn poste senkondiĉe kapitulacis? Ĉi tie troviĝas kelkaj respondoj al tiu demando, kaj ankau proponoj de principa alternativo, por Grekujo mem same kiel por aliaj landoj de la europa "periferio". Ŝajnas, ke la analizo de la greka situacio estas la plej bona okazo por analizi ankau tiun de la euro, de la Europa Unio kaj de ĝiaj membrolandoj. En tiu analizo de la detala greka kiel de la ĉioma europunia situacio la diversaj maldekstraj kaj eĉ komunistaj partioj de la sama regiono tute ne venas al sama rezulto, ili montras sin eĉ tute kontrauaj.

Epic LEGO Adventures with Bricks You Already Have (9781624143861)

Sarah Dees is back again with more fun and adventurous LEGO projects for kids, but this time with a fun twist. Each chapter features adventure scenes with characters and funny events; kids learn to build each element of the scene step by step, even the broken, smashed or destroyed things. For example, in the camping chapter, kids build an outdoor adventure scene gone wrong with a bear destroying a tent and eating all the food, while the family takes a joyride in a canoe that-oh no!-capsizes them into the lake! Kids build the broken canoe, the lake with splashes and the family floating downstream. Other adventure stories include dinosaur world where kids build life-like dinosaur characters and half-eaten buildings with a T-Rex chomping down on one. Kids can build a space scene with fearsome aliens and their awesome space blastergun that shoots, of all things, pizzas! Kids will be rolling on the floor in laughter as they build the parts and act out the scenes with their own LEGOs. ...
